What the club says: Our challenging 6232, yard par 70 course is maintained to the very highest standards, with tees and greens built to USGA specifications. Opened in 1993, the course has been cleverly designed with two distinct and contrasting nine holes; an outward nine, set in parkland with lakes, water hazards and dog-legs and a stunning 'links style' inward nine with sand banks, broom and a host of challenges. Sand Martins is the perfect risk and reward golf course, offering a challenge to golfers of all levels.

The back nine is truly unique among inland golf courses, with high rivetted bunkers and hazards lurking on every hole offering a good test of golf; where a par on the 13th will feel like a birdie, and where Deception, the 15th with a ravine across the fairway, really does live up to its name!

The layout of the course can be seen as playing two different 9's. The course was in tremendous condition and you can clearly see a lot of effort has been put in to manicure the course. First and last three holes can make or break your round! The practice facilities are fantastic and cater for all elements of your game.

First time round here. Paid £30 for twilight on Bank Hol which was an absolute steal. Really interesting course with contrast between front (parkland) and back (heathland) 9's. Course was in great condition on both including excellent and comparatively quick greens. Only thing which could have been a bit better was if they had a bit more stop on shots in but assuming kept firm due to recent rubbish weather. Course must drain well though. Water and other hazards present on a few holes and most of them make you think in some way as you go round. Very friendly in both pro shop and bar pre and post round. Can't comment on food as just missed final orders post round but decent pint of Seafarers sitting on the patio. Can't wait to play it again.

Course was in excellent conditions, although the greens played a little slow due to some maintenance carried out in order to get the greens ready for the summer. Looking forward to returning and playing again.All in all very enjoyable round golf and facilities including the bar, driving range, chipping area and practice greens were great.
